Lattery ABOUT THE AUTHORS 295 INDEX 303 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We extend our deepest gratitude to Lisa Kornetsky, Donna Silver, and their staff at the University of Wisconsin System’s Office of Professional and Instructional Development (OPID) for work- ing tirelessly to foster faculty development across the UW System and across the nation (as part of the Carnegie Leadership Cluster). We all thank Jane Ewens and Tony Ciccone for their advice and leadership as directors of the UW System Wisconsin Teaching Fellows and Scholars Programs (respec- tively), especially because the three editors of this book met when they were Wisconsin Teaching Fellows together. We would also like to thank the schol- ars who contributed their works to this text and who put up with our demanding schedule and editorial suggestions. Without their experience as educators, their passion for the topics, and their perseverance through the editorial and publishing process, we would not have this wonderful product to offer teachers across the disciplines. Special thanks go to John von Knorring, President and Publisher of Stylus Publishing, and his staff for mak- ing this project a reality, and to our spouses, families, and friends for helping us keep our sanity. They mostly succeeded. ix
